karezi isn’t a good ship because if terezi wanted to set fire to a police car karkat would stop her instead of buying her matches
vriska, on the other hand, would show up with a lighter and a tank of propane
Things that are interesting to think about: what is conventionally attractive for trolls, and why.
I see a lot of the usual hella curvy women and lankily buff anime dudes, which is fine, but: three different spheres of attraction! (And ash, but what the fuck is ash even?) Surely the same thing doesn’t appeal in every instance.
Just from a physical sense, are curves more appealing in the pale quadrant (insinuation of fat, lack of muscle, someone that is dangerous enough that they don’t need physical indicators of strength) or is scrawniness? Is bodybuilder buff vs powerlifter buff more appealing in pitch?
Does popular media romanticise scars in redrom (something to pity!) vs stigmatise them in pitch (a sign they can’t keep up!)? What kind of appearances are the ideals that kids grow up comparing themselves to? Condy probably represents some kind of physical ideal, considering she’s the cornerstone and figurehead of the empire, but how’s that affect the appeal of traits like long hair, curves, certain fashions, and what associations does that give them?
(I do love the idea of hyperfeminity being a danger indicator! Deimatic displays through extravagant glam yesss.
WING YOUR EYELINER SHARP ENOUGH TO KILL A MAN.)
